I’m very curious why we are not on this list. The coaches know better than anyone what their needs and preferences are at DT, but this guy feels like a definite take and exactly what they’re looking for.

YEAH! How dare the coaches not be in contact right away with a portal player some random fan thinks is a take, Huh?

I've no idea who this guy even is or if he is a take, but compared to those teams listed, we have a playoff game in a few days that is of much more importance. 

He has some decent size for the position, but what is his production like? How many snaps has he played?

These little cockroaches are starting to become obnoxious. 

Tech big money guys are throwing money around this portal cycle. Don't think it matters for them though, because they'll still be a mid tier Big 12 team and McGuire still going to get fired.

PFF has him rated as a top-10 DT in the country this year, so definitely a take.

Thank you, I did some reading after this. Apparently he's not much of a pass rusher but he's a great run stopper/lane plugger. Teams had a hard time running the ball with him on the field. Was reading a post by someone who watched a ton of Washington State ball.

Have to agree, that you at least kick the tires on him.

Maalik Murphy to Oregon State.  Wow, thought he'd get a chance at one of the mid-level ACC or even SEC schools but he's going to a bit of a wasteland.

He probably wanted to stay at Duke.  Read the section of the article on the timing of him leaving.

"The 6-foot-5, 230-pound redshirt sophomore entered the transfer portal on Dec. 10 after Duke began recruiting Tulane transfer Darian Mensah, the No. 2 quarterback in ESPN's transfer rankings. Mensah committed to the Blue Devils on Dec. 11."

The portal door swings both ways.

I will not be quick to dismiss TT.  As obviously weird as it would be for normal humans to voluntarily spend a year or more out of a finite lifetime in Lubbock, Tech itself is a comparative oasis in churchy sand land.  But this is not volunteer work, it is highly compensated by oil and gas money, and could soon make TT a playoff contender.

The road through the B12 to the playoffs has been eased by the realignment.  Ultimately Okie Lite, Baylor, TCU, Houston and the rest will have to match TT's aggressiveness in NIL.  Can the Kansas schools, Iowa St., the mountain schools and the desert brothers keep up with the oil money?

Another road has opened for successful recruiting, BTW.  Diego Pavia gets another year of eligibility because JUCO guys now get two years in college to match the two spent in JUCO, as I understood the ruling.  So JUCO development is now a freebie and JUCO farm systems like K St used to have will now become relevant again.  21 YO JUCO transfers probably will not demand the same level of NIL while still retaining lots of eligibility.  

We shall see.

Tech is closer to making the playoff than A&M is IMO.
